QinetiQ Group plc, the international defence and security technology company,
today announces the appointment of George Tenet as an independent non-executive
director, with immediate effect. Tenet was one of the longest serving directors
in the history of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), holding office from
1997 to 2004.

Tenet was sworn in as the 18th director of Central Intelligence in July 1997,
and under presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush led efforts to rebuild and
modernise the CIA's capacity to acquire, analyse and disseminate critical
intelligence information. Prior to this appointment he held the positions of CIA
deputy director and acting director. He is currently a professor at Washington's
Georgetown University, a board director of Guidance Software Inc and L-1
Identity Solutions and sits on the advisory board of The Analysis Corporation.

Commenting on the appointment, QinetiQ's chairman Sir John Chisholm said: 'I am
extremely pleased to welcome George Tenet to QinetiQ. His extraordinary track
record and experience in the fields of intelligence and security are
particularly relevant as we continue to focus on the US defence and security
market.'

Tenet said: 'I am looking forward with great enthusiasm to working with the
QinetiQ team. I am especially interested in the capacity of the company's
technologies to meet a number of the challenges faced by our nations' military
and intelligence personnel.'
